Would a rose by any other name shine as bright? If we are talking about an actual living rose then, no, probably not. This it the Silk Flower LED, a common cathode 5mm RGB LED surrounded by an organza-type silk to give it the shape of a beautiful blooming flower. This Silk Flower LED is the same one used in the 21st Century Fashion Kit and can be used to add a bit of color and flair to your next e-textile project.

Great project starter !!!

I bought three(3) of the Silk Flower LEDs to build tutorial projects in the style of Angela Sheehan/@gellacraft using LOTSWEI Essences for aromatherapy…and the SparkFun Silk Flower LED as a visual mood-enhancement.

In 2003, CU student Nate Seidle blew a power supply in his dorm room and, in lieu of a way to order easy replacements, decided to start his own company. Since then, SparkFun has been committed to sustainably helping our world achieve electronics literacy from our headquarters in Boulder, Colorado.

No matter your vision, SparkFun's products and resources are designed to make the world of electronics more accessible.
